Anyone have an HTPC? Did you build it? If so what is your set up?

i had a couple before i ditched tv entirely. one was a stock HP pc with a few Hauppauge cards, running windows and beyondtv.
the other i built from scratch out of parts, running ubuntu and mythtv, same capture cards.
this was all pre-HD though.

something like this, not sure if its this model exactly: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pr…
2 gigs of corsair ram
1tb sata hard drive,
remote control
windows xp (garbage for most applications, ok for this)
Media Portal - http://sourceforge.net/projects/… (has the usual open source quirkiness and bullshit but once you get your plug ins going and you skin set up it's untouchable)

The HDMI on your set up ornj, does that go to your tv or to your pc or is going both ways?

I don't think so although I haven't looked into it. I haven't had any reason to do so.
